atlantic citr n j sept 2 the assailant of charles b roberts is known and has been known siuce the night that the baltimore banker and clubman was shot down on the board walk while in com pany with mrs w s g williams of that city the person who identified his would be slayer was roberts himself in an ante mortem statement the pistol with which the shooting was done has been located thus completing the chain of evidence and the man who shot roberts is technically under arrest these facts were vouched for to-night by the manager of a local private de tective agency which was cailed in to as sist the atlantic city police in clearing up the mystery it is claimed by the manager of the de tective agency that a remarkable condi tion of affairs has tied the hands of the police and that only the death of roberts will allow them to make arrests and prose cute the man and a woman confederate named by mr roberts in his statement before making his statement mr roberts exacted a pledge from the hospital physi cians and the detectives representing the police department that no action wonid he taken in the event of his recovery thp.t the matter of dealing out punishment to those who had wronged him be left entire ly in his hands according to the manager of the detective agency names man and woman then with the belief that he had but one chance in ten to survive his wound mr roberts is said to have named the man and woman who bounded him on the board walk until be was driven to desperation a^id attacked the mau sl'.b th resnlt that the latter drew a revolver and shot him the detective nnd dr j c marshall heard mr roberts statement and it is said that dr marshall reduced the state ment to writing and has it in his pos session no transcript was given to the detective and he was able to report only what he remembered of the verbal state ment it is said that dr marshall is deter mined to keep faith with mr roberts and will not let the written statement ont of his hands and has declined to exhibit it to any one it will be returned to mr roberts inviolate should he recover evidence in support of this astonishing version of the celebrated case was found to-day by an examiner correspondent it lends an even more mysterious com plexion to the case and supports the the ory that every one concerned is working in an harmonious agreement to suppress the facts jackson's friend tells story to-night howard lewis the negro chair pusher who was wheeling mrs el corey on the wa'.k when they met mr roberts directly after he had been sjÂ»t and who is a close friend and companion of jack son gave what he claims to be jackson's true version of the affair it differs en tirely from the statements made for pub lication by jackson and attributed to him by the police jackson told me said lewis to-night that while he was wheeling mrs wil liams and mr roberts up the board walk they were followed for a short distance by a man and a woman then the man approached the chair and spoke to mr roberts and the latter got out ordering jackson to wheel mrs williams ahead mr roberts and the man walked be hind jackson and the woman followed a few paces back mr roberts and the man engaged in earnest conversation which lasted while they were walking about half a mile then jackson says that mr rob erts suddenly turned on the man and in n loud and angry voice declarcd no i'll be hanged if 1 do it pulled roberts from chair then mr roberts turned on his heel left the man and got back n the chair with mrs williams the man followed and reaching inside the chair got mr roberts by the coat collar and yanked him out of the chair he was a large and pow erfully built man and handled mr roberts easily but mr roberts broke away and in his anger qf-sperately attacked the man with his fists knocking him down as the man rose he drew a revolver and fired twice mr robfrts appeared to have been des perately hurt and staggered back toward the chair this is the true story that jackson told me although he has been ordered by the police not to talk i know that he was telling the truth because he got excited over it and acted it just like it occurred it is still claimed that all concerned in the case s.re baltlmoreans and members of the circle in which roberts and the wl iiams amiiies move but it is now claliueo that neither the man wao did the shooting nor the woman who was with him are connected by any family ties with either the roberts or williams fam ilies on the other scheme of suggest mm :; â€¢ ' hl"le^^^u^^j^*aj^h iftl^tf says wife has 600,000 husband a

the chain of evidence and the man who shot roberts is technically under arrest these facts were vouched for to-night by the manager of a local private de tective agency which was cailed in to as sist the atlantic city police in clearing up the mystery it is claimed by the manager of the de tective agency that a remarkable condi tion of affairs has tied the hands of the police and that only the death of roberts will allow them to make arrests and prose cute the man and a woman confederate named by mr roberts in his statement before making his statement mr roberts exacted a pledge from the hospital physi cians and the detectives representing the police department that no action wonid he taken in the event of his recovery thp.t the matter of dealing out punishment to those who had wronged him be left entire ly in his hands according to the manager of the detective agency names man and woman then with the belief that he had but one chance in ten to survive his wound mr roberts is said to have named the man and woman who bounded him on the board walk until be was driven to desperation a^id attacked the mau sl'.b th resnlt that the latter drew a revolver and shot him the detective nnd dr j c marshall heard mr roberts statement and it is said that dr marshall reduced the state ment to writing and has it in his pos session no transcript was given to the detective and he was able to report only what he remembered of the verbal state ment it is said that dr marshall is deter mined to keep faith with mr roberts and will not let the written statement ont of his hands and has declined to exhibit it to any one it will be returned to mr roberts inviolate should he recover evidence in support of this astonishing version of the celebrated case was found to-day by an examiner correspondent it lends an even more mysterious com plexion to the case and supports the the ory that every one concerned is working in an harmonious agreement to suppress the facts jackson's friend tells story to-night howard lewis the negro chair pusher who was wheeling mrs el corey on the wa'.k when they met mr roberts directly after he had been sjÂ»t and who is a close friend and companion of jack son gave what he claims to be jackson's true version of the affair it differs en tirely from the statements made for pub lication by jackson and attributed to him by the police jackson told me said lewis to-night that while he was wheeling mrs wil liams and mr roberts up the board walk they were followed for a short distance by a man and a woman then the man approached the chair and spoke to mr roberts and the latter got out ordering jackson to wheel mrs williams ahead mr roberts and the man walked be hind jackson and the woman followed a few paces back mr roberts and the man engaged in earnest conversation which lasted while they were walking about half a mile then jackson says that mr rob erts suddenly turned on the man and in n loud and angry voice declarcd no i'll be hanged if 1 do it pulled roberts from chair then mr roberts turned on his heel left the man and got back n the chair with mrs williams the man followed and reaching inside the chair got mr roberts by the coat collar and yanked him out of the chair he was a large and pow erfully built man and handled mr roberts easily but mr roberts broke away and in his anger qf-sperately attacked the man with his fists knocking him down as the man rose he drew a revolver and fired twice mr robfrts appeared to have been des perately hurt and staggered back toward the chair this is the true story that jackson told me although he has been ordered by the police not to talk i know that he was telling the truth because he got excited over it and acted it just like it occurred it is still claimed that all concerned in the case s.re baltlmoreans and members of the circle in which roberts and the wl iiams amiiies move but it is now claliueo that neither the man wao did the shooting nor the woman who was with him are connected by any family ties with either the roberts or williams fam ilies on the other scheme of suggest mm :; â€¢ ' hl"le^^^u^^j^*aj^h iftl^tf says wife has 600,000 husband a
